A new hypervisor call is available which tells the guest settings related to the RFI flush. Use it to query the appropriate flush instruction(s), and whether the flush is required. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

Because there may be some performance overhead of the RFI flush, add kernel command line options to disable it. We add a sensibly named 'no_rfi_flush' option, but we also hijack the x86 option 'nopti'. The RFI flush is not the same as KPTI, but if we see 'nopti' we can guess that the user is trying to avoid any overhead of Meltdown mitigations, and it means we don't have to educate every one about a different command line option.

On some CPUs we can prevent the Meltdown vulnerability by flushing the L1-D cache on exit from kernel to user mode, and from hypervisor to guest. This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9. At this time we do not know the status of the vulnerability on other CPUs such as the 970 (Apple G5), pasemi CPUs (AmigaOne X1000) or Freescale CPUs. As more information comes to light we can enable this, or other mechanisms on those CPUs. The vulnerability occurs when the load of an architecturally inaccessible memory region (eg. userspace load of kernel memory) is speculatively executed to the point where its result can influence the address of a subsequent speculatively executed load. In order for that to happen, the first load must hit in the L1, because before the load is sent to the L2 the permission check is performed. Therefore if no kernel addresses hit in the L1 the vulnerability can not occur. We can ensure that is the case by flushing the L1 whenever we return to userspace. Similarly for hypervisor vs guest. In order to flush the L1-D cache on exit, we add a section of nops at each (h)rfi location that returns to a lower privileged context, and patch that with some sequence. Newer firmwares are able to advertise to us that there is a special nop instruction that flushes the L1-D. If we do not see that advertised, we fall back to doing a displacement flush in software. For guest kernels we support migration between some CPU versions, and different CPUs may use different flush instructions. So that we are prepared to migrate to a machine with a different flush instruction activated, we may have to patch more than one flush instruction at boot if the hypervisor tells us to. In the end this patch is mostly the work of Nicholas Piggin and Michael Ellerman. However a cast of thousands contributed to analysis of the issue, earlier versions of the patch, back ports testing etc. Many thanks to all of them.

Similar to the syscall return path, in fast_exception_return we may be returning to user or kernel context. We already have a test for that, because we conditionally restore r13.

This commit does simple conversions of rfi/rfid to the new macros that include the expected destination context. By simple we mean cases where there is a single well known destination context, and it's simply a matter of substituting the instruction for the appropriate macro.

The rfid/hrfid ((Hypervisor) Return From Interrupt) instruction is used for switching from the kernel to userspace, and from the hypervisor to the guest kernel. However it can and is also used for other transitions, eg. from real mode kernel code to virtual mode kernel code, and it's not always clear from the code what the destination context is. To make it clearer when reading the code, add macros which encode the expected destination context.

The hotplug code uses its own workqueue to handle IRQ requests (pseries_hp_wq), however that workqueue is initialized after init_ras_IRQ(). That can lead to a kernel panic if any hotplug interrupts fire after init_ras_IRQ() but before pseries_hp_wq is initialised. eg: UDP-Lite hash table entries: 2048 (order: 0, 65536 bytes) NET: Registered protocol family 1 Unpacking initramfs...

The recent refactoring of the powerpc page fault handler in commit c3350602 ("powerpc/mm: Make bad_area* helper functions") caused access to protected memory regions to indicate SEGV_MAPERR instead of the traditional SEGV_ACCERR in the si_code field of a user-space signal handler. This can confuse debug libraries that temporarily change the protection of memory regions, and expect to use SEGV_ACCERR as an indication to restore access to a region. This commit restores the previous behavior. The following program exhibits the issue: $ ./repro read || echo "FAILED" $ ./repro write || echo "FAILED" $ ./repro exec || echo "FAILED" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <assert.h> static void segv_handler(int n, siginfo_t *info, void *arg) { _exit(info->si_code == SEGV_ACCERR ? 0 : 1); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { void *p = NULL; struct sigaction act = { .sa_sigaction = segv_handler, .sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO, }; assert(argc == 2); p = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), (strcmp(argv[1], "write") == 0) ?

When restoring a pending interrupt, we are setting the Q bit to force a retrigger in xive_finish_unmask(). But we also need to force an EOI in this case to reach the same initial state : P=1, Q=0. This can be done by not setting 'old_p' for pending interrupts which will inform xive_finish_unmask() that an EOI needs to be sent.

When we oops or otherwise call show_regs() we print the address of the regs structure. Being able to see the address is fairly useful, firstly to verify that the regs pointer is not completely bogus, and secondly it allows you to dump the regs and surrounding memory with a debugger if you have one. In the normal case the regs will be located somewhere on the stack, so printing their location discloses no further information than printing the stack pointer does already. So switch to %px and print the actual address, not the hashed value. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() is the common function for all IMC (In-memory Collection counters) domains to unregister cpuhotplug callback and free memory. Since kfree of memory allocated for nest-imc (per_nest_pmu_arr) is in the common code, all domains (core/nest/thread) can do the kfree in the failure case. This could potentially create a call trace as shown below, where core(/thread/nest) imc pmu initialization fails and in the failure path imc_common_cpuhp_mem_free() free the memory(per_nest_pmu_arr), which is allocated by successfully registered nest units. The call trace is generated in a scenario where core-imc initialization is made to fail and a cpuhotplug is performed in a p9 system. During cpuhotplug ppc_nest_imc_cpu_offline() tries to access per_nest_pmu_arr, which is already freed by core-imc.

It's theoretically possible that branch instructions recorded in BHRB (Branch History Rolling Buffer) entries have already been unmapped before they are processed by the kernel.

Since commit ad67b74d ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p") pointers printed with %p are hashed, ie. you don't see the actual pointer value but rather a cryptographic hash of its value. In xmon we want to see the actual pointer values, because xmon is a debugger, so replace %p with %px which prints the actual pointer value. We justify doing this in xmon because 1) xmon is a kernel crash debugger, it's only accessible via the console 2) xmon doesn't print to dmesg, so the pointers it prints are not able to be leaked that way.

kexec can leave MMU registers set when booting into a new kernel, the PIDR (Process Identification Register) in particular. The boot sequence does not zero PIDR, so it only gets set when CPUs first switch to a userspace processes (until then it's running a kernel thread with effective PID = 0). This leaves a window where a process table entry and page tables are set up due to user processes running on other CPUs, that happen to match with a stale PID. The CPU with that PID may cause speculative accesses that address quadrant 0 (aka userspace addresses), which will result in cached translations and PWC (Page Walk Cache) for that process, on a CPU which is not in the mm_cpumask and so they will not be invalidated properly. The most common result is the kernel hanging in infinite page fault loops soon after kexec (usually in schedule_tail, which is usually the first non-speculative quadrant 0 access to a new PID) due to a stale PWC. However being a stale translation error, it could result in anything up to security and data corruption problems. Fix this by zeroing out PIDR at boot and kexec.

This reverts commit a3b2cb30. That commit tried to fix problems with panic on powerpc in certain circumstances, where some output from the generic panic code was being dropped. Unfortunately, it breaks things worse in other circumstances. In particular when running a PAPR guest, it will now attempt to reboot instead of informing the hypervisor (KVM or PowerVM) that the guest has crashed. The crash notification is important to some virtualization management layers. Revert it for now until we can come up with a better solution.

If this isn't the right way to do this then feel free to suggest something else, but it seems sane to me. Here's a short summary of the changes, roughly in order of how interesting they are. - libgcc.h has been moved from include/lib, where it's the only member, to include/linux. This is meant to avoid tab completion conflicts. - VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added. These are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them from the start so we can make them faster later. - A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so userspace can flush the instruction cache. - The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been removed, as those VDSO entries don't actually exist. - __io_writes has been corrected to respect the given type. - A new READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked(). - __test_and_op_bit_ord() is now actually ordered. - Various small fixes throughout the tree to enable allmodconfig to build cleanly. - Removal of some dead code in our atomic support headers. - Improvements to various comments in our atomic support headers" * tag 'riscv-for-linus-4.15-rc2_cleanups' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux: (23 commits) RISC-V: __io_writes should respect the length argument move libgcc.h to include/linux RISC-V: Clean up an unused include RISC-V: Allow userspace to flush the instruction cache RISC-V: Flush I$ when making a dirty page executable RISC-V: Add missing include RISC-V: Use define for get_cycles like other architectures RISC-V: Provide stub of setup_profiling_timer() RISC-V: Export some expected symbols for modules RISC-V: move empty_zero_page definition to C and export it RISC-V: io.h: type fixes for warnings RISC-V: use RISCV_{INT,SHORT} instead of {INT,SHORT} for asm macros RISC-V: use generic serial.h RISC-V: remove spin_unlock_wait() RISC-V: `sfence.vma` orderes the instruction cache RISC-V: Add READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked() RISC-V: __test_and_op_bit_ord should be strongly ordered RISC-V: Remove smb_mb__{before,after}_spinlock() RISC-V: Remove __smp_bp__{before,after}_atomic RISC-V: Comment on why {,cmp}xchg is ordered how it is ...

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "The critical one here is a fix for fpsimd register corruption across signals which was introduced by the SVE support code (the register files overlap), but the others are worth having as well. Summary: - Fix FP register corruption when SVE is not available or in use - Fix out-of-tree module build failure when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=y - Missing 'const' generating errors with LTO builds - Remove unsupported events from Cortex-A73 PMU description - Removal of stale and incorrect comments" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64: context: Fix comments and remove pointless smp_wmb() arm64: cpu_ops: Add missing 'const' qualifiers arm64: perf: remove unsupported events for Cortex-A73 arm64: fpsimd: Fix failure to restore FPSIMD state after signals arm64: pgd: Mark pgd_cache as __ro_after_init arm64: ftrace: emit ftrace-mod.o contents through code arm64: module-plts: factor out PLT generation code for ftrace arm64: mm: cleanup stale AIVIVT references

Olaf said: Here's a short series of patches that produces a working allmodconfig. Would be nice to see them go in so we can add build coverage. I've dropped patches 8 and 10 from the original set: * [PATCH 08/10] (RISC-V: Set __ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT to pick up generic version) has a better fix that I've sent out for review, we don't want renameat. * [PATCH 10/10] (input: joystick: riscv has get_cycles) has already been taken into Dmitry Torokhov's tree.

This merge contains the user-visible, ABI-breaking changes that we want to make sure we have in Linux before our first release. Highlights include: * VDSO entries for clock_get/gettimeofday/getcpu have been added. These are simple syscalls now, but we want to let glibc use them from the start so we can make them faster later. * A VDSO entry for instruction cache flushing has been added so userspace can flush the instruction cache. * The VDSO symbol versions for __vdso_cmpxchg{32,64} have been removed, as those VDSO entries don't actually exist. Conflicts: arch/riscv/include/asm/tlbflush.h

This patch set is the result of some feedback that filtered through after our original patch set was reviewed, some of which was the result of me missing some email. It contains: * A new READ_ONCE in arch_spin_is_locked() * __test_and_op_bit_ord() is now actually ordered * Improvements to various comments * Removal of some dead code

Introducing a new include/lib directory just for this file totally messes up tab completion for include/linux, which is highly annoying. Move it to include/linux where we have headers for all kinds of other lib/ code as well. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>
